MFT "Better Get Better" Card

I have been loving the cards lately!  I created this card for my cousin Virginia who just had surgery and I thought I would share it with you before I get it in the mail.  I used the MFT's Pure Innocence "Better Get Better" stamp set which I colored using my Copic Markers.  By the way ...I am taking the Copic Certification in April...YAY so EXCITED!!!!!!  Anyway, back to the card...I used the Annalee paper collection by Prima to paper piece her dress as well as for the card.  I used the MFT Scallop Border and Butterfly set along with the Spellbinders Labels Fourteen on this card as well.  I finished it off with some Prima flowers and Prima Say It In Pearls.  Thanks for stopping by =D

Greeting Farm Later Sk8er Card

Hi, just thought I would share my latest card with you.  WOW...this card was so fun to put together!  I loved doing it in "white".  First I colored my image using W1 and W3 copic markers, I then cut the image using my Nestabilities Labels 14 die.  I then used my Pumice Stone distress ink to ink the edges of the die cut and then I just started layering white cardstock that I embossed using a couple of Tim Holtz Texture Fades and a Cuttle bug embossing folder.  Once I was happy with the layout I used my sewing machine to stitch all the pieces in place.  Thank you for stopping by!!

Graphic 45 Steampunk Debutante Altered Canvas

Hey everyone!  I just finished a mixed media project that I thought I would share with you.   I was inspired by the  "Modern Marvels" on this paper by G45 to create a canvas piece this morning and it took me a couple of hours to complete this project.  I used several techniques and lots of different product. If you know my work, this is "SO" not my style but I want to make 2011 the year of "Stepping Out".  I want to venture out and try different things, techniques, style etc. I would LOVE to know what you think of my art piece so please leave me a comment.  Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Birthday Josie!

Hi everyone!  I am playing catch up with the Birthday card posts.  My husband's sister Josie had a birthday in January and I did get her card out on time but just recently decided to share them so here it is.  Josie has a Military (ARMY) family so...I thought of "Cheeky Mate" (she is so cute).   Check out her "dog tags"!  I found them on line when I was working on my husband's ARMY mini album.  My cards are very simple because I am just learning, but she just LOVED her card.  I hope you like it as well :-).  See ya in a bit with another card!

Cheeky Cherry Pie Birthday Card

This is a birthday card that I made for my sister-in-law Irma and I just thought I would share it with you.  I have a goal for 2011 and it is to MAKE each of my brothers, sisters, sister-in-laws, and brother-in-laws their birthday cards.  Irma is my husband's sister and she loves to bake so of course I thought of "Cheeky Cherry Pie".  Happy Birthday Irma!!

I used the Farmers Market paper collection by Shabby Green Door for Irma's card.  Notice the cute rolling pin and bowl set?  I stitched around the paper with my sewing machine before I added the paper to a craft cardstock A2 card.  I then used my Nestabilities Label 4 die, and finally Cheeky Cherry Pie is colored with my Copic markers and her dress, apron, headband and pie are paper pieced with the same collection.  Thanks for stopping by!

"All Bundled Up" altered frame

Hi Everyone! I am excited to share this altered picture frame with you. I bought this frame at a thrift store yesterday and felt it would be perfect for this challenge. I love the ice skates that are carved into the frame. The frame was originally a light oak and I painted it with gold paint and then I sprayed it with my LSG Moon shadow mist in Smoky Sapphire. I then embellished the frame with the snow flakes that I cut from some paper that I bought on Etsy. I also added some I Am Roses and a Prima leaf. I colored the girl image with my Copic markers and then pieced her coat, scarf and hat with the same paper collection. I titled this altered frame "All Bundled Up". I hope you like it.

Malorie's Get "Whale" Soon Card

Our great niece Malorie is in the hospital and I have decided to create a "Get Well" card for her. I just received my new Cricut cartridges so I have decided to use one of them to create her card. I have chosen the Whale from the "Just Because" Card cartridge. I created the card using craft card stock. I added a corner pocket inside the card to insert a gift card. I hope that Malorie is feeling better soon and I hope that this card puts a smile on her face.

My 2010 Christmas Cards

I always make my Christmas cards and this year is no exception. I came across a tuturial on Robyn's youtube channel (injoystampin) on an Origami Christmas Tree and I decided to give it a try. Well I loved the way it turned out and this is what I created. I hope you will be inspired to give it a try!

Thank you card for my mommy!

I made this card for my mom to say "Thank You"! My mom is so sweet she bought me the "Distress-it-all" as one of my graduation gifts. My mom loves vintage and so I made her this card using the Graphic 45 Fashionista paper collection. Thank you Mom!!

Thank You Cards

I have entered into the world of card making. I am not a card maker but I made my sister-in-law a card and now she wants me to make all my cards. I am participating in a couple of swaps this month and these are the cards I made for the ladies hosting the swaps. I have used Graphic 45 paper for each of the cards. I hope they like them.
